Hi {{u|Dugan Murphy}}, I'm not a native speaker of Canadian English but I hope my comments, which follow, help.
* Link to bronchitis?
::Sure. Some people might not know what that is. [[User:Dugan Murphy|Dugan Murphy]] ([[User talk:Dugan Murphy|talk]]) 02:04, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
* Link to Horton Township (Wolfville) in infobox, lead and body?
::I see that [[Horton Township, Nova Scotia]] redirects to Wolfville, but that article doesn't seem to mention anything about the area where Jackson lived, which is now called Lockhartville. The article is focused on communities further west. [[User:Dugan Murphy|Dugan Murphy]] ([[User talk:Dugan Murphy|talk]]) 02:04, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
* Ref #1 in note a: Change "p. 264n88" to "p. 264, n. 88"?
::I've seen multiple articles through FAC with citations to footnotes written out this way, so I'm going to leave that be. [[User:Dugan Murphy|Dugan Murphy]] ([[User talk:Dugan Murphy|talk]]) 02:04, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
* "They had daughters": Change to "They had two daughters,"?
::I prefer how it currently reads. [[User:Dugan Murphy|Dugan Murphy]] ([[User talk:Dugan Murphy|talk]]) 02:04, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
* Link to Saint John, New Brunswick?
::Sure! [[User:Dugan Murphy|Dugan Murphy]] ([[User talk:Dugan Murphy|talk]]) 02:04, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
* "of Gulf of Mexico coastline": add a "the" prefix before "Gulf of Mexico"?
::That's probably better; done. [[User:Dugan Murphy|Dugan Murphy]] ([[User talk:Dugan Murphy|talk]]) 02:04, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
* "engaged Confederate military": add a "the" prefix?
::That probably reads better; done. [[User:Dugan Murphy|Dugan Murphy]] ([[User talk:Dugan Murphy|talk]]) 02:04, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
* "throughout day and night": "throughout the day and night"?
::Rewritten. [[User:Dugan Murphy|Dugan Murphy]] ([[User talk:Dugan Murphy|talk]]) 02:04, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
* "surrendered August": add an "on" in between?
::Done. [[User:Dugan Murphy|Dugan Murphy]] ([[User talk:Dugan Murphy|talk]]) 02:04, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
* Ref #15 in note c: Change "p. 265n99" to "p. 265, n. 99"?
::See above about citing footnotes. [[User:Dugan Murphy|Dugan Murphy]] ([[User talk:Dugan Murphy|talk]]) 02:04, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
* "Black British North American Civil War Union Navy veterans": Isn't this too confusing? Consider changing to "Black British North American veterans who served in the Union Navy during the Civil War" in both the body and note d?
::Reworded in both places to move "veteran" as suggested, though I decided to just remove "Civil War" since the use of ''Union'' Navy/Army indicates the conflict. [[User:Dugan Murphy|Dugan Murphy]] ([[User talk:Dugan Murphy|talk]]) 02:04, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
* Ref #24: Change "p. 265n102" to "p. 265, n. 102"?
::See above about citing footnotes. [[User:Dugan Murphy|Dugan Murphy]] ([[User talk:Dugan Murphy|talk]]) 02:04, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
* In the first paragraph of the Legacy section, haven't we added too much about the reenactment regiment? We should just retain the services performed at Jackson's headstone and remove the rest.
::I can see that. I tightened that up. [[User:Dugan Murphy|Dugan Murphy]] ([[User talk:Dugan Murphy|talk]]) 02:04, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
That's all from me. Cheers [[User:Matarisvan|Matarisvan]] ([[User talk:Matarisvan|talk]]) 10:34, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
:Thanks for looking over the article! It's better as a result. [[User:Dugan Murphy|Dugan Murphy]] ([[User talk:Dugan Murphy|talk]]) 02:04, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
